Robert M. Anderson GREAT RAMS AND GREAT RAM HUNTERS II
Collector's Covey 1892505118 / 9781892505118 Hardcover BOOK
Destined to join the enormously successful "Great Rams" book of 1994. Captures the magic of North American sheep hunting, from the era of the great pioneers to the contemporary scene. 293 photos; 11x10 inches, 244 pgs.
'More than two and a half years in the preparation, Robert M. Anderson's GREAT RAMS AND GREAT RAM HUNTERS II is destined to join the enormously successful 1994 GREAT RAMS as one of the absolute classics of sheep hunting literature. The revealing text is an excellent mix of previously untouched historical topics and contemporary sheep subjects sure to be of interest to sheep enthusiasts everywhere. Then there is the author's real forte, 293 photographs, many never before seen, with the detailed and elaborate captions sheep hunters have come to expect from Anderson.
Drawing on his own experiences and personal interviews as well as an extensive collection of letters and photos dating back to 1913, Anderson captures, in text and photographs (most never published), the magic of sheep hunting from the era of the great pioneers to the contemporary scene.
According to Anderson, the spirit and intent of the book is twofold: to give special recognition and tribute to those sheep hunters of long ago who pursued rams in North America's remotest ranges without benefit of ultramodern equipment, instant communication, or easy, rapid travel; and to salute the contemporary generation of sheep hunters, individuals who are tough, competitive, ethical, and possessed with the same instinct that drove the old-timers: the lure of another sheep mountain.
In a very unique book format, Anderson has augmented more than 250 photographs with in-depth and detailed captions. The author comments: "Inasmuch as the taking of almost every ram is a story in itself, I have attempted to provide as much vital information as possible with the photographs.
Besides the normal details of the taking of the rams, scores, areas, guides, outfitters, etc., in most cases I have found that there is an interesting twist or irony behind the hunts or the hunters themselves. Sheep hunters have a way of being larger than life. Invariably, I have found that each hunter is the real story."

Robert Anderson Jack O'connor: The Legendary Life Of America's Greatest Gunwriter
SAFARI PRESS 1571572546 / 9781571572547 Hardcover BOOK
Exciting biography on a hunter by a hunter. A must for anyone interested in one of the most famous gunwriters of all time. Profuse photos, papers & letters; 6x9 inches, 240 pgs.
'This is the book all hunters in North America have been waiting for--the long-awaited biography on Jack O'Connor! Jack O'Connor was the preeminent North American big-game hunter and gunwriter of the twentieth century, and Robert Anderson's masterfully written new work is a blockbuster filled with fascinating facts and stories about this controversial character. With the full cooperation of the O'Connor children, Anderson spent three years interviewing O'Connor's family and friends as well as delving into JOC's papers, photos, and letters, including the extensive correspondence between O'Connor and Bob Householder, and the O'Connor papers from Washington State University. O'Connor's lifelong friend Buck Buckner has contributed two chapters on his experiences with the master of North American hunting.
Find out how many (desert) sheep and Grand Slams JOC really shot; how JOC killed the same sable antelope twice (10 years apart!); how his absentmindedness made him lose his car; and how he shot his own toe off. Learn about the early years of hardship in Arizona for the O'Connor family and the tragedy that befell Jerry, their oldest son. Then there were the glory years after WW II as O'Connor undeniably rose to the top of his profession, when he and Eleanor hunted tiger in India, sheep in Iran, buffalo in Tanganyika, and became acquainted with princes and potentates as well as the moguls of the hunting and firearms industries. His stories in Outdoor Life could make or break a product and moved thousands of readers to book a hunt or buy a gun.
This exciting biography is illustrated with dozens of never-before-seen photos made available by the family, and it includes an extensive timeline that lists the major game animals O'Connor shot, the guns he owned, the trips he took, and the books he wrote. The life of JOC is a book on a hunter for hunters by a hunter, and is a must for anyone interested in one of the most famous gunwriters of all time.
This special limited edition is printed on large format 7x10 inch paper and contains an EXTRA 32 pages of photographs; it also includes copies of original JOC letters. Neither of these features will ever be printed again once this edition is sold out!
Series: Volume 21 in Safari Press's Classics in Big-Game Hunting Series.

Robert Anderson John J. Lomonaco: A Hunting Lifetime
Collector's Covey Hardcover BOOK
Lomonaco hunted all over the world & shot a lot, but in the book he only describes what he really cared for the most: waterfowl, sheep, wild goats, bear, deer, & elk during his 40-year hunting career. A refreshing approach that gives the reader many interesting stories to savor. Color & B&W photos; 11x10 inches, 243 pgs. : 25%.
'When you open this book, two things become readily apparent quickly. First of all, the book is very well illustrated and has a wealth of photos. Second of all, although other game is covered, this really is a book about Asian mountain game as well as American deer, elk, bear, cougar, and sheep. There is also a good section on LoMonaco's lifetime of waterfowl hunting, which is one of his great passions. But the North American mountain hunts and the Asian high-altitude hunts get the greatest share of the pages and are the focus of this book, and rightfully so. John's sheep hunting expeditions have spanned two continents'this includes numerous trips to Central Asia as well as a North American Grand Slam. From the luscious photos of his trophy room, you can see that he shot a lot of game in Africa but hardly any of it is covered in his book; he hunted all over the world and shot a lot, but in the book he only describes what he really cared for the most: waterfowl, sheep, wild goats, bear, deer, and elk during his forty-year hunting career'believe us when we say that he has taken some unbelievable elk and deer in America. He has a refreshing approach to hunting and one that gives the reader many interesting stories to savor.
